5 Fast Facts with Andrea

What’s your favorite vacation destination or place to visit?

“I loved visiting Costa Rica! I like that you have the option to relax on the beach, explore cities and experience wildlife/jungle environments-it’s all just a drive away once you get there.”

And your favorite cuisine?

“My favorite cuisines reflect my upbringing. I love all types of Latin American cuisines, but also enjoy my favorite Iranian and Mediterranean spots around Houston.”

Any recent tech addictions you’ve had?

“I wouldn’t say recent, but if I’m addicted to any type of technology, it’s my phone. I’ll use anything to keep myself organized like my Google calendar or Siri, but I still keep an old-school agenda with me. I have to write everything down to keep track of what’s going on day-to-day.”

What about Houston–what’s your favorite event here?

“I go to a lot of events so it’s hard to narrow it down to one, but I’d have to say a few of my favorites are Day for Night, Houston Pride Festival and of course, Magical Winter Lights ;)”

What’s your secret weapon in PR?

“My resourcefulness! I like being challenged and finding creative ways to solve problems. I think it’s one of the most powerful and necessary traits to have in any industry you’re in.”
